Calculated Meters
Overview
Calculated meters are used to create a metering channel with a calculation or equation behind it. Sometimes referred to as “virtual” metering channels, they can be used to aggregate data, calculate Power Factor, kVa, boiler efficiency and much more.
eSight provides the ability to easily configure and manage calculated meters.
Calculated Metering Channels
The eSight Calculated Meters module allows a calculation to be created and stored within eSight as a metering channel. Once the calculated meter has been created, this virtual meter may be reported on and graphed in exactly the same way as a physical metering point within a building.
eSight provides an intuitive interface for the creation of calculated meters with full steam lookup tables which can be used to perform functions such as the conversion of steam to energy for efficiency monitoring.
Calculated meters may be based on a summation of physical meters or on mathematical equations to calculate efficiency for example. Calculated meters may also be based on calculations of other virtual metering points.
